2015年8月26日,施玮来信,告诉我《叛教者》终于写完了,三十二万字。那一天,我久久望着窗外,敲键盘的手指有些颤抖,几乎都无法回信。因为我知道,这部小说让她经受了怎样巨大的痛苦,或者说都超过了她所能承受的痛苦。记得施玮在2005年完成《红墙白玉兰》之后,一直没有勇气再写长篇。但是她被《叛教者》的故事感召,如果不写,内心无法平静。我曾经鼓励她:这部作品才是你真正的文学 August 26, 2015, Shi Wei letter, tell me “apostate” finally finished, 320,000 words. That day, I looked out the window for a long time, trembling fingers on the keyboard, almost impossible to reply. Because I know what great pain this novel has endured, or more than she can bear the pain. I remember Shi Wei completed in 2005, “Red Magnolia”, there has been no courage to write long. But she was inspired by the story of “apostate”, and if she did not write, she could not calm down. I once encouraged her: this work is your real literature
